The Village Gentry opened 15 years ago in a street with 4 other barbers/hairdressers/salons within 20 metres of it. However every day, and especially the weekend, the Village Gentry is the busiest. The reason - they're the best.
Inside the Gentry has had a bit of a facelift and it's a nice place to be, even if you're not getting your haircut. Long comfy benches, newspapers and magazines to read, Radio 2 or 6 Music on for your listening pleasure, and the owner Michael holding court and conversing and joking with everyone while he cuts hair.
As far as haircuts go, the staff are great and happy to do anything you want with your hair and do it to the highest of standards and for one of the cheapest prices in Cumbernauld.
The Gentry also does hot towel shaves - by appointment only. These are the most expensive shaves in the area, but they are worth the extra money. Michael took classes from the best to master his technique and it shows. This isn't just a regular shave, this is the most relaxing and pampered hour of your life, and it makes you feel like a million dollars. read more
